I don’t think Penn realizes that many who laughed at the joke will still vote for Hillary for the same reason that many pubbies who laugh at McCain’s idiocies will still vote for McCain. It was a funny joke, a quick witted jab that would draw a laugh even out of a code pinko type. I have laughed at a lot of the anti-Bush jokes from the left but still voted for Bush twice.
There is nothing cute nor heartwarming about McCain. He doesnt ooze sympathy nor charm. You are wrong. I dont laugh when I see mcCain.
